Is it a headache or something more?

Question

I've been having intense head pains above and to the back of my left ear for about a week now. It's more of a hard compressing pain than a sharp pin-point one. They are slowly getting worse but come in and out randomly. Are they headaches or something more?

Answer 1

It's probably just a muscle strain but if it will make you feel better you can check for brain tumors by standing with feet together, arms outstretched with palms up. Tip your head back and close your eyes. If you fall or can't hold yourself up then it would be best to see a doctor.

By the way, make sure you have someone to catch you.

Answer 2

1. When is the last time you had a headache? Couple of years (regular one) 2. What did you take for your headache? Advil 3. When is the last time you had a hangover headache? About a week ago 4. What worked for this headache? Time 5. What doesn't work at all for your headaches? Banging my head against a wall 6. Do you get dull headaches or throbbing headaches? I usually do not ever get headaches. When I do (regular ones) they are usually dull. A hot bath or real good massage works wonders. A chiropractor may help too to get you back in working order!

Answer 3

It may be associated with several causes: 1. spasm of the attachment of the sternocliedomastoid muscle just at the the behind of both ear. in this case u may be involved in head movements or a job requiring this kind of motion of head. if the cause would be this, the pain will be alleviated by moving the head and cheek downwardly and to the left lateral side 2. Ear infection that this case will be associated with ear secretion or hearing loss, if any 3. bone trauma or pathology
4. dental infection at the left side of mouth
5. cerebral tumor which requires MRI or CT Scanning.

Answer 4

You need to go to your doctor. And keep going if they persist. Get a second opinion if you're not getting anywhere.

I've had pretty bad headaches off and on since my 20s. Only recently I'm trying to figure out what's going on.

Do you have plants in your house? Could be the mold in the soil. I recently had to move my houseplants out of the bedroom because I woke up completely ill every morning.

Could it be stress? Allergies? Anything blooming under your windows? What do you eat? Too much caffeine? Sugar? Start looking around your house for any water damage. Winter storms and the like have been horrible all around the country this year.

If you play sports, it could be a concussion. My brother got one from playing football and he didn't know he had it until 2 weeks after. He was complaining of headaches also. I'd go talk to your doctor.

Answer 7

It could be an ear infection.
